DUCKS BY THOUSANDS.
The Flight of Water Fowl the Greatest
Ever Known.


Ward Allen, the duck hunter, was in town
yesterday after a long hunt, He reports
the largest flight of ducks that he has ever
known. They are flying by thousands in
small focks and large fiocks, and the hunter
is in his glory. During the past eight days he
has killed over 200 ducks. On Saturday after
noon he brought up $50, the result of his
days work, and he went out Saturday night
and shot 40 by moonlight.
Ducks have been so plentiful that the mar
ket has been overstocked, and Allen is now
taking a rest until some Of them have been
eaten up. The ducks that are now flying
are broad bills raft ducks, which are ex-
ceedingly plentiful, teal and Mallard ducks.
Allen has killed five or six pairs OF canvas
back and about an equal number of red
heads, but these two varieties have not made
their appearance yet. The next good
Northeastern will probably bring down large
numbers of hard heads, and the canvas
back will come with them. Then the hunter
will have to work.
Canvas-back ducks bring the best prices,
and, like all good things, they are hard to
get. When the hard heads come down they
almost cover the river, and the amateur
hunters go out for sport. They make the
hard heads wild, and that takes many dol
lar out of the professionals pocket, for the
hard heads fy with the canvas-back, and
no matter how good blind a boat may
have, they are apt to be scared and fly, and
| they take the canvas back with them. Al
len says that frequently he loses $40 worth
of canvas backs just because there is hard
| head in the flock, but when he does, he fol-
lows the flock until he kills the hard head,
| and then he stamps on him.
Another trouble with which hunter has
to contend is experienced ducks. In large
flock there are more than apt to be three or
| four cid ducks that have been shot at before
and they are wary and always on the look
out for danger. Unless the hunters blind
is perfect and he approaches the flock with
| the greatest skill, these old ones, who have
''smelt gunpowder BEFORE" will discover
his 1use and lead the flock away. In small
| focks the chances are not so great and as a
| rule small flocks pay better than big ones

THE SITE OF THE STATUE.
Preparing to Lay the Foundation
Jasper's Monument.


Jasper's Monument.
Mr.. Alex. Doyle, designer and builder of
the Jasper statue, is in the city and will
begin laying the foundation for the statue
at once. The old brick foundation which
was built in Madison square when the
corner stone was laid at the Jasper
Centennial in 1879. was removed
just before the the Chatham Centennial
year age. The corner stone is buried on
the site of the statue, but the copper box
containing the deposits was removed and
is now In the safety vault of the South
ern Bank. As soon as the foundation for
the statue is ready the box will be replaced
in the corner stone, which will then be
sealed and placed in position in the founda-
ton.
Madison square is one of the most eligible
sites in the city for the monument. 1t is
the only square on Bull street, except Chip
pewa square, which has fountain, in
which there is not a monument. johnson
square has the Greene monument, Wright
square the Gordon monument and Monterey
square the Pulaski monument Fronting
the new government building Madison
square is one of the most prominent of the
Bull street squares. 1t has for a long time
been neglected The walks, until
year ago, were unpaved,
the trees were allowed to grow at will with
out being trimmed or cared for, and the
square had an air of neglect. 1t is now be-
ing improved. The north and south walks
were paved year ago, and now the east
and west walks are being paved. and curbed
with stone. The dead and dying trees have
been removed, the railing has been re-
paired, and when the statue is finished and
unveiled the square will be one of the most
attractive in the city.

What the English Say.

The English allude to them as stop coats. !"
WE call them Overcoats Itamounts to about
the same thing, however, and in this "cold
wave" season it is simply a case of the rose
smelling as sweetly under any other name. -
We have sold lots of Overcoats during the
past week, but the piles don't seem to shrink
bit. We gave every buyer his good
moneys worth, and something over, too.
You need never feel ashamed of any of our
Coats, whether the finest Satin-lined or the
ordinary substantial plain Coat. Every
single one carries an air of responsibility
with it. The prices possibly have some
thing to do with the demand We are not
greedy. A rery small profit suits us. An
Overeoat sold is worth dozen left oUei' to

Don't think of buying an overcoat without
seeing us. You might regret it. Plenty of
nice Underwear, Hose, correct shapes in
Hats, etc. Our line of select suits for Gents,
Youths and Boys holds its own, and with
some extra holiday suits" added. The Big

Waste of Tissue Without Repair.

Vigor begins TO decline when dyspepsia in
vades the stomach. The disease, prolonged
through neglect, entails grievous loss of flesh
and serious waste of the muscular tissue. To

TOO MUCH INFLUENCE.

On the ground that Alturas
county has power in the legisla-
ture and in its political affairs une-
qualed by any other county, the
Boise Statesman takes a hand in
the proposed division of this coun-
ty, 1t says it is better to sub-di-
vide counties so that no one county
with small combination with one
or two others can control the af-
fairs of the territory. This is re-
freshing. Those who control the
Statesman have always sought to
control and assume to dictate what
shall or may not be done in legis-
lative affairs 1t is by no means
apparent that the Alturas delega-
ton during the present session of
the Legislature is seeking to control
legislation. 1t is true that the del
egation is making an ardent fight
against any division Of the county,
and those who are lobbying the Ell
more bill had to seek the service of
a representative of a county having
no interest in common with this
portion Of the territory in order to
have the same introduced. The peo-
pie of Alturas county as mass are
opposed to division, and the Gilmore
lobby in no way represents the
wishes of any considerable number
of the tax payers Of the entire
county. The time will eventually
come when it will be necessary to
divide up the county in two or
more sections, but that time has
not yet arrived. The Statesman
should keep its hands out of the
fight.

| On Tuesday last telegram was

delegation asking it to introduce a
memorial to Congress for the an
nexatiOn of the southern part OF

while those agitating annexation,
as a retaliatory measure, have a
Justifiable grievance there are other
things to be considered. 1t must
be remembered that the present
Legislature almost unanimously
passed a memorial opposing seq
regation of the territory in any
manner. This was sent to our del
egate in congress, who, in the line
Of his duty, presented it to the
house, and it now appears upon
the records of that body. In the
United States Senate no less a per-
sOnage than Senator John Sherman
presented the memorial to that
body. How would itappear should
there now be memorial passed by
the same Legislature asking for an
nexation to Nevada? Would it
not place the people of Idaho,
through its legislature, in a very
ridiculous position. BY all means
get even with the Boise ring for its
.unwarrantable interference i'm a
matter that in no way concerns it
or the people of that section; but
the advocacy of annexation after
the action of the legislature unani-
mously opposing any segregation
is not the proper weapon to use.
1t is very true that by annexa-
